After 12 weeks of show-stopping room reveals, unique challenges, and plenty of tears, this year’s season of The Block has officially come to an end. All five teams took their properties to auction in Sunday night’s episode with the hopes of selling their house for the highest price.

Billionaire entrepreneur Adrian Portelli set the bar high last season when he purchased all five properties for a whopping $15 million. However, he was a no-show at this year’s auctions, allowing fresh faces to get a piece of the action.

What were the reserve prices and auction order for The Block houses this year?

While the indicative selling price of the properties had previously been listed between $3 million and $3.3 million, it was announced at the beginning of the episode that each property had a reserve price of $2,990,000.

Sonny and Alicia, however, won $50,000 off their reserve price in the final week of the competition, so their final price is $2,940,00.

The teams get to take home any profit above the reserve price, and the contestants with the most money receive an additional $100,000 cash prize from Channel 9.

The group (somewhat) all agreed to an auction order of:

House 3’s Britt and Taz

House 5’s Robby and Mat

House 1’s Em and Ben

House 4’s Sonny and Alicia

House 2’s Han and Can

Host Scott Cam told the group that the competition has been won from every position in the auction order, and all the other teams told Britt and Taz that they wanted them to go first because it would “set the tone” for the rest of the teams’ auctions, as the WA couple has the most interest in their house.

Domain’s National Property Editor, Alice Stolz, told Yahoo Lifestyle before the auctions that she thought Britt and Taz had a great chance of winning, and she was correct!

Who won The Block 2025?

House 3’s Britt and Taz had their lives changed when they sold their house for $3,410,000, becoming the winners of The Block 2025 and walking away with $420,000 in profit, as well as the $100,000 prize money.

Danny Wallis, who has previously purchased several Block properties, returned to the auctions this year and put up a good fight for the property, but in the end, a bidder on the phone purchased the property.

The couple was left stunned to receive $520,000, beating their nearest competitor by $300,000, not including their prize money.

Coming in second were House 4’s Sonny and Alicia with a profit of $120,000, followed by House 5’s Robby and Mat in third place with $109,999 in profit.

In a heartbreaking moment, both House 1’s Emma and Ben and House 2’s Han and Can had their properties passed in at auction.

Robby and Mat from House 5 were up next. They were very proud of their home, but said they were most proud of their underground wine cellar.

Artist David Bromley was also in the crowd bidding on House 5, but the fight was between Danny and Frank Valentic, a buyer’s advocate who also appeared at Britt and Taz’s auction.

Danny put in a final bid of $3,099,999, giving the boys a profit of $109,999.

“Well, that was disappointing,” Mat said, with Scotty also left shocked.

The rest of the teams said they felt sick after watching Robby and Mat’s auction, as the boys grappled with what happened.

“I can’t f***ing believe it,” Robby said, with Mat adding he was “gutted”.

“It’s not a great outcome, but it is what it is,” Mat told the cameras, but the boys agreed that they had had the time of their lives working on the house.

Shelley Craft told the boys that while it wasn’t what they wanted to hear, money isn’t everything.

House 1 – Emma and Ben

Profit: N/A, property was passed in

Following the boys were Emma and Ben from House 1, who were very nervous after seeing what happened to Robby and Mat.

It was a tough start with the bid sitting at $2,920,000, still below reserve, for quite some time.

While it reached $2,970,000, Emma and Ben paused the auction, calling the auctioneer in for instructions.

Scotty told the couple that they’ve done this before on the show.

The host told the auctioneer to put in a vendor bid of $3,100,000 to push the bidding over the reserve price, in the hopes it would prompt the bidders to offer more.

Em and Ben were left stunned when the home was passed in at auction.

“Wow, I didn’t think that was going to happen at all,” Em said.

“Still smiling?” Ben asked her, and she nodded.

“A rollercoaster, The Block,” Scotty said.

“Passed in… it’s not the end of it,” Em said, and Ben agreed, saying it just means they can’t win the competition.

Ben said through tears that he has a beautiful wife and baby boy and nothing else matters.

House 4 – Sonny and Alicia

Profit: $120,000

Sonny and Alicia had already won an MG car, which would go to Alicia’s mum, as well as $50k off their reserve price.

The couple said no matter the result, they were happy with the experience they’ve had and were proud of the whole house.

Sonny and Alicia said, “Whatever happens, happens,” and understood that things might not go the way they hoped after seeing the second and third auctions of the day

Scotty told the couple’s agents that they want to start the auction with a vendor bid of $3,050,000.

Despite the couple having a $65,000 ute and a $260,000 caravan to go with the house, there were no bids for a while, until Frank got someone on the phone to go to $3,060,000.

Sonny described it as a “tough day in the office”, but said they were happy to have made a sale and win something.

“We’re better off than when we came in,” Alicia said.

House 2 – Han and Can

Profit: N/A, property was passed in

Han and Can said they have been “blown away” by what they accomplished with their house, adding they wanted it to be unlike any of the other homes.

The girls said it had been “brutal to watch” the auctions, before bringing in their agents to discuss a strategy to help them sell the home.

Scotty told the agents that they wanted to do the same thing they’d done with Sonny and Alicia, asking them to put in a vendor bid of $3,100,000.

Frank told the auctioneer that his pockets were empty, unfortunately, and Danny sat quiet.

“I’m going to throw up,” Han said as the agents began speaking to the bidders individually to see if there was any chance of a bid.

In an unfortunate moment and for the second time for the night, Han and Can’s property was passed in.

“We’ve got our health and we’ve got each other,” Can said as the pair shared their excitement to sell the property outside of the show.

Scotty said they were “gutted” to see the result.

What happens to House 1 and House 2 after being passed in?

This is not the first time that houses have been passed in, it simply means that the properties will be up for sale as normal and Aussies who couldn’t be at the auction have a chance of buying House 1 and House 2 and giving Emma and Ben and Han and Can a profit.

Do The Block winners have to pay tax on their prize money?

Yahoo Lifestyle has done some digging, and the simple answer is no, contestants don’t have to pay tax on any prize money they receive on The Block.

According to moneysmart.gov.au, you do not have to pay tax on lottery winnings or other prizes, which include reality TV prize money. The ATO also states that, similar to money won in a lotto or raffle, you don’t declare amounts received for game show prizes.

“When it comes to winning prize money on reality TV or game shows, you’d only declare it if you regularly appear on these kinds of shows,” an ATO employee answered in a community forum.

“Then you’d be more like a professional game show contestant/reality TV star. If it’s more like a one-off thing, then no need to declare.”
